Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain malignancy in the human race. The management of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in elderly patients is not well established in English literature. Despite treatment advances, survival of elderly GBM patients is usually < 12 months. Prognostically favorable elderly GBM patients should be included in prospective randomized combined-modality clinical trials. Quality-of-life issues should be strongly considered in this subset of patients. This is the review article looking into the pattern of presentation, treatment, and other related aspects in this subset of patients as management of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in elderly patients is not well established.
